It is ***impossible*** to unsubscribe from this discussion list !
I have done the followings:
1 I have sent 6 mesages to the correct unsbscribing email address, received the confirmation, however continued to receive (a lot of) emails from group members; 2. I have sent 3 messages to the owner of this list - of course, I used the correct email address - and nothing happened.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO REALLY UNSUBSCRIBE ?
There is one thing that can make this go wrong. If you subscribed under on email address, and are trying to cancel under another, but the old email address is being forwarded to you. I see that you are an Optimum Online victim/customer. If you originally got your cablemodem access through another cable company that was subsequently bought by optonline, they will forward emails from your old ISP to your new optonline address, but it's still coming to the list manager as the new address. If this is the case, use the instructions someone else posted a few minutes ago to unsubscribe from a different email address than you're sending from, and specify your old email address. If you saved the "Welcome" message you got when you subscribed, you can confirm my theory. It's always a good idea to stash these away in some folder. You can also look closely at all the headers in the suse list emails coming to you, to see if it really is sending to your current address. If you look at all the headers (I can't tell you how to do that without knowign what email program you use), and see emiramar@ followed by a different domain name, then you know you need to unsubscribe from that address, not your current one. Hope that helps. -- DDDD David Kramer david@thekramers.net http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D "LINUX is obsolete" DK KD - Andrew S. Tanenbaum, creator of Minix - Jan 29, 1992 DDDD
